Phyllodes tumor (PT) is an extremely rare tumor of the breast of mixed mesenchymal and epithelial origin. It may pursue a benign or malignant evolution with distant metastases in the latter case in 3-12% of patients. The most common sites of metastases are the lungs and bones. Although theoretically any organ may have metastasis, it is extremely rare that a PT will metastasize to the bilateral ovaries and present as Krukenberg tumor. Herein, we report such a case.
叶状肿瘤(PT)是一种极其罕见的乳腺肿瘤,起源于间充质和上皮混合成分。它可能呈良性或恶性发展,恶性情况下有3%-12%的患者会发生远处转移。最常见的转移部位是肺和骨。虽然理论上任何器官都可能发生转移,但PT转移至双侧卵巢并表现为库肯勃瘤极为罕见。在此,我们报告这样一例病例。
